Straddle Carrier Benefits
- Efficiency: Straddle carriers are much faster than spreader cranes, making them great tools for improving turnaround times. They can more flexibly move items For many companies, quickly loading, unloading and moving containers directly affects competitiveness.
- Logistical flexibility: Businesses often partner with third-party providers to access cranes and lifts for moving containers. Between extra costs, scheduling challenges and tight spaces, these services make logistics more complex. A straddle carrier eliminates the need for many of these services, which can help you avoid bottlenecks and delays. Plus, single-operator use lets your staff move items more easily and quickly.
- Precision: The precise control of a straddle carrier allows you to place containers exactly where you want them for stable stacking and more efficient use of space. You can also determine the order in which you stack containers, which can help with optimal arrangements when loading onto trucks. This equipment offers precision for many types of cargo.
- Maneuverability: Unlike spreader cranes, straddle carriers can fit into smaller spaces and aren’t limited to movement along a rail track. While they’re still big machines, they take up less room, have good turn flexibility and move while lifting items. They fit in many environments where cranes are simply too big, including doorways. This extra maneuverability also makes straddle carriers valuable in changing work environments and tight spaces.
